Centro Politécnico, Jardim das Américas, 81.531-980, Curitiba, PR, Brazil Abstract. The species Canthidium alvarezi Martínez and Halffter, 1986 (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Scarabaei- nae) is transferred to the genus Ateuchus Weber, 1801, becoming Ateuchus alvarezi (Martínez and Halffter), new combination. Its relationship with other species in the genus is briefly discussed. The validity and ranking of the genus Lobidion Génier, 2010, originally described from a single female, is discussed based on the discovery of male specimens, which lead us to reclassify it as a monotypic subgenus of Ateuchus, becoming Ateuchus (Lo- bidion), new rank, with the only included species becoming Ateuchus (Lobidion) punctatissimus (Génier, 2010) new combination. Key words. Taxonomy, systematics, type specimens, dung beetle, New World. Resumo. Canthidium alvarezi Martínez and Halffter, 1986 (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae) é trans- ferido para o gênero Ateuchus Weber, 1801, sob a nova combinação Ateuchus alvarezi (Martínez e Halffter). Seu relacionamento com outras espécies no gênero é brevemente discutido. A validade e categorização do gênero Lobidion Génier, 2010, o qual foi descrito a partir de apenas uma única fêmea, é discutida com base em machos recém-descobertos, o que nos leva a considerar o táxon como um subgênero monotípico de Ateuchus, sendo agora tratado como Ateuchus (Lobidion), novo status, com a sua única espécies conhecida se tornando, portanto, Ateu- chus (Lobidion) punctatissimus (Génier, 2010), nova combinação. Palavras-chave. Taxonomia, sistemática, espécimes-tipo, rola-bostas, Novo Mundo. Introduction The megadiverse New World genera Ateuchus Weber, 1801 and Canthidium Erichson, 1847 (Cole- optera: Scarabaeidae) are currently under investigation respectively by MC and FG. A preliminary assessment of the current species classification for these two genera has shown that several taxa were assigned to the wrong genus, and some should be transferred to different genera (MC, personal observa- tion). The following note results from these observations. Materials and Methods Specimens studied are deposited in the collection of the Canadian Museum of Nature, Ottawa (CMNC); the Museo Argentino de Ciencias Naturales “Bernardino Rivadavia”, Buenos Aires, Argentina (MACN) and the Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle, Paris (MNHN). Methodological details concern- ing dissections, genitalic preparation, imaging and plate preparation follow Génier and Moretto (2017). 2 • INSECTA MUNDI 0646, July 2018 GÉNIER AND CUPELLO Discussion While organizing the insect collection of the Canadian Museum of Nature, one of us (FG) came across a series of one male and four female specimens labeled as paratypes of “Canthidium superbum Martínez, 1982”. The name is a nomen in litteris and therefore unavailable, but the label data matched the information given for the paratypes of Canthidium (C.) alvarezi Martínez and Halffter, 1986, in the original description. Given that these specimens also match perfectly the description given by Martínez and Halffter (1986) and that the greater part of the Martínez collection is currently housed at the CMNC, these are undoubtedly part of the paratypes studied by Martínez and Halffter (1986). The incongruence between the name appearing on the paratype labels and the actual species name is of little concern as Martínez used to label going-to-be type specimens well before the actual publication of the species descriptions, leading to the existence of several specimens bearing never-published nomina in litteris in the Martínez collection (e.g., “Canthidium violetae”, “Canthon laminatus subandinus” and “Canthon virens nordestinus”). Proper paratype labels, with the name Canthidium alvarezi, are now affixed to the five paratypes currently deposited in the CMNC. The holotype male and the allotype female are deposited in the collection of the Museo Argentino de Ciencias Naturales “Bernardino Rivadavia”, Buenos Aires, Argentina (Cupello 2018), while two additional

E-mail: [email protected] Research participant, Coleoptera Collection. In 2012, P. Skelley and J. Wappes were investigating the insect fauna of Ctenomys (Blainville, 1826) (Rodentia: Ctenomyidae) burrows at low elevation in Santa Cruz de la Sierra province, Bolivia. A number of beetles were extracted from this microhabitat and among them, 50 specimens belonging to the New World genus Ateuchus Weber from the subfamily Scarabaeinae (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae). The specimens were submitted to the author for identification and did not match any currently described species. Although South American species of the genus Ateuchus are critically in need of a modern revision, it is considered important to describe this particular species as it is the first one recorded from mammal burrows in South America and it is easily distinguishable from all other known Ateuchus.
